I've completed 1 week of the squat challenge and i've maintained the 2 minute mark on planks.</p> <p>Maybe this will also help the TTC process. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1377575 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 21:20:31 +0000 Smurfette 1377575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Trying it!!

(after the show ended, the phrase changed to "do it to it like Sonny Pruitt used to do it") . . . The series ran from 1974-1976. I am guessing it just got shortened over time.</p> <p>I also learned that the theme song, "Movin' On", was written and performed by Merle Haggard, and was a No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in July 1975. Giddy up! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1375143 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 05:56:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 1375143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Either one works - they can be done in groups throughout the day or all at once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374999 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 00:12:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1374999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: with that squat challenge, do they just have to be completed throughout the day (say, some in the morning, some before bed, etc.) or all at once? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374953 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 23:12:39 +0000 Freckles 1374953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: I still allowing chocolate!</p> <p>I did day 1 of squats while waiting for LO to fall asleep. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374952 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 23:12:11 +0000 T-Mom 1374952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took an "extended" rest day on my squat challenge and got back at it today .. Day 5 of the multi squat program. Broke a sweat but feeling good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374534 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:55:35 +0000 Smurfette 1374534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I have dropped my squats too:( back tomorrow!! Doing good with the diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374491 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:19:51 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1374491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: no candy?? What about discounted valentines chocolate on Feb 15th? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374490 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:19:01 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1374490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 100 squats...it's getting easier to do those first 50! I'm down 5lbs since I started tracking calories on January 1- which is ridiculous. I'm so used to PCOS making it impossible to lose weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374347 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:47:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1374347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely see a result from all the squats! I'm up to 110. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374312 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:37:25 +0000 Freckles 1374312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Instead of different squats, have you thought about lunges? It'll work the inner thighs to balance out the larger quad muscles being used!</p> <p>@KT326: I try to floss during lunch. I'm using too zonked out at night to do it!</p> <p>I think i'm in. </p> <p>1. Wash my face/remove makeup every night. I know that sounds gross but seriously, by bedtime i just don't care!<br /> 2. Go to yoga 3x a week<br /> 3. Plank challenge. Hopefully get to 5 minutes by the end of Feb?? We'll see!<br /> 4. No candy in Feb. Seriously, i ate a whole bag of Haribos in one sitting the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374249 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:12:57 +0000 deactivated_account 1374249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: "Do it to it" is the hot phrase in my house as of late. Where's it from?!?!? And yes... squats are a thing now for me. I've been able to maintain an eight pound weight loss following a six day juice cleanse and that's keeping my psyched. I just got over the flu and dropped one more pound! Hooray! One more pound to go and I will start counting the real weight loss since these first 10 pounds I'm losing shouldn't even be on my body in the first place. I don't even have a baby or pregnancy to blame!!!!!!!!! FML! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1374216 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:59:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 1374216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Do it to it!</p> <p>I have fallen off the *squat* wagon, but I am hopping back on! Everything else is on track, except for the doughnuts I ate this morning (and the chocolate ice cream last night!). Ah well, everything in moderation, including moderation! No guilt, just move on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1364296 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:05:07 +0000 deactivated_account 1364296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I just printed out your squat plan pictures. Thanks, lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1363669 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:57:43 +0000 T-Mom 1363669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing the squat challenge for 2 days now and am feeling really great about it!</p> <p>I tried to drink a green smoothie today but left it sitting on my fence before heading to work, doh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1355948 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:02:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1355948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah, DietBet really only works if you have a more significant amount of weight to lose, rather than needing to just drop a few pounds or tone up, although you can actually set up your own bets with whatever basis you want I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1355902 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 08:29:45 +0000 Smurfette 1355902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>on 2nd thought....I am going to increase that $5. Mama needs more then that to get a nice bag :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1355894 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 08:26:32 +0000 blackbird 1355894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's a great incentive, smurfette! I'm also going to buy myself something nice when I get to the point I want :) I don't like the dietbet idea because it doesn't really take composition into effect, which wouldn't help me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1355883 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 08:19:05 +0000 Smurfette 1355883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Interesting. It would give me more incentive to keep on it. I would be pissed if I lost money. I am giving myself $5 for every pound I lose. So I can save up and buy myself something without feeling guilty. </p> <p>Did my squats last night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1354240 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:55:35 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1354240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: it's this website that has "bets" that are either public or you can set up your own for a certain amount of weight loss in a certain time frame. For instance, the one my BFF and I are doing is a public one (anyone can join) to lose 10% of your body weight in 6 months. Everyone pays a certain amount for their "bet." Every month, their is a goal (like lose 3%, an additional 1%, etc.) that if you meet you share in the winnings for that round. Then, at the end of the 6 months, there is a bigger pot of money and everyone who has met the goal shares that. Does that all make sense? I think it makes it kind of fun and motivating because I like money! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1353940 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:35:57 +0000 MrsBrewer 1353940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Don't feel stupid!!

I've been doing Weight Watchers, which is going well, and I joined one of the 6 month DietBets. </p> <p>1. Keep tracking food &amp; staying within points.<br /> 2. Cardio at least 3 times a week.<br /> 3. Do squats, lunges, or ab work during some of my TV time after the Baby Dudes go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1353453 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 13:42:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 1353453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Hopefully you'll stay feeling great! The big *ouch* sets in on me the second day after the workout (if I haven't done another workout that day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1352540 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 10:59:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 1352540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Shockingly, I'm feeling okay today! I can definitely feel it, especially in my abs and shoulders, and my thighs are pleasantly sore, but not nearly as bad I was anticipating. I did stretch a lot last night, and took a long, hot bath before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/valentine-vixens/page/2#post-1352227 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 10:06:27 +0000 Boheme 1352227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have logged every day this week, and weighed in at a half pound less this morning. I'm upping the ante! I want to see the next 10 lb bracket on my scale, which will put me dangerously close to pre-preg weight.<br /> DH carved out solo time for me the next 3 days to go to the gym. I'm ready! </p>
